So you want to be a food writer?
Getting your writing into magazines in newspapers is hard. If only there was a way to quickly learn the essentials, and start earning decent money, as a freelance writer…
Well, funny you should say that – I run a 1-to-1 online course designed around exactly this problem. It’s called So you want to be a (paid and published) food writer? and it guarantees to help you land food stories editors can’t resist. Or I give you your money back.
Immediate access to the lessons, resources, and 1-to-1 support that'll help you become a professional food writer.
“Food stories editors can’t resist,” you say?
In my first pitch ever, I landed a piece with The Guardian. Sure, I got a little lucky. But after honing my technique, I’m writing for the Independent, Time Out, Great British Chefs, Smithsonian, and Ferment – which pay hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds for my work.
I know what makes a good pitch. And as part of this course, I’ll share that knowledge with you. Together, we’ll develop your ideas and land your food stories with paying publications. As well as learn the fiddly bits of this dark art, like negotiating better fees, managing rejections, and summoning the confidence to send people your ideas in the first place.
Again – this course offers a sure-fire way for anyone to land their food stories in print media. If the course fails to live up to that promise, you’ll get your money back.
